When you screenshot a game from 2011 and make it the loading screen of a 2014 game... ya might have a problem.

Ultimate Decades Challenge is "historical" in that you go from 1300 - 2020 and see if you can make it without all your Sims dying out. So you "live" through The Great Famine, Black Plague, Hundred Years War... that's just the first century lmao

There's also statistics for childbirth and mortality rates being fantastic for the time
Alexceptional

Deaths are decided by dice roll and sometimes just a coin flip. It's fun c:
Alexceptional

CURRENTLY I'M ON YEAR 1328
Alexceptional

We survived the Great Famine with only one casualty, somehow. I am sure that'll come to haunt me when the Plague comes about

Can't have good luck on rolls forever

I'M ON GENERATION 3. Heir is a Child. His name is Rowan and he's doing his best, mark my words.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Generation 1 is STILL ALIVE? Man, they have seen shit, I don't know how they're still kicking
Alexceptional
3 months ago
They're also like........ in their 40s which is OLD.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Genuinely, they just have rolled really well through everything
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Meanwhile GEN 2 is.... a mixed bag
Alexceptional
3 months ago
The eldest, Mercy got married and had a bajillion children. We're very proud. She's a total goodie two shoes, overachiever. Only 2 of her 8 children have passed.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
One of her TRIPLETS was supposed to (failed the toddler age up roll) but she basically arm wrestled Grim to give her baby back and it..... worked
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Mercy is a terrifying momma bear. We are big proud
Alexceptional
3 months ago
HER SIBLINGS. HAVE HAD NO LUCK BY COMPARISON
Alexceptional
3 months ago
The eldest son, Weylon. Welp. He was our heir
Alexceptional
3 months ago
~was~
Alexceptional
3 months ago
He is Rowan's dad, btw
Alexceptional
3 months ago
I got a bit cheated by the game, yes. Still bitter
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Weylon had a lovely wife Adeline. They were ~In LOVE~ it was so cute. She's a romantic sim, he was family oriented it was CUTE.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
They had Rowan, BIG PROUD PAPA.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
And Adeline found out she was pregnant again
Alexceptional
3 months ago
LITERALLY 3 HOURS after telling Weylon the big news
Alexceptional
3 months ago
He dies.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Of heatstroke.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
From a clothing bug.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Basically, the game thinks they are wearing winter clothes when it's mid-summer and hot af and they overheat and die
Alexceptional
3 months ago
To make matters worse, Grim showed up so fast, no one could react in time to attempt pleading (which is fine in the rules, jsyk)
Alexceptional
3 months ago
SO I HIT THAT POINT like Okay........
Alexceptional
3 months ago
I can reload because I got cheated
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Or I can just go...
Alexceptional
3 months ago
SO WE go??
Alexceptional
3 months ago
WELP.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
ADELINE had twins
Alexceptional
3 months ago
F.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Rune and Rose, both survived. Still surviving. They are all super cute
Alexceptional
3 months ago
But damn.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
TRUE LOVE DIES and she's raising twins on her own
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Actually Adeline is kind of a shit parent and the kids have been mainly cared for by Isaac and Mariam, grandpa and grandma
Alexceptional
3 months ago
She's just walking around everyday in black for the last 9 years, buried in grief
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Grieving is supposed to be 7 years but this girl clings (I'm too lazy to edit her in CAS/I always forget when I am in CAS)
Alexceptional
3 months ago
AND SHE'S ROMANTIC so she's just constantly miserable. What a mess
Alexceptional
3 months ago
But very much, if she remarried, the situation with heir would get ..... dicey so we're stuck.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Poor Adeline
Alexceptional
3 months ago
So that's Weylon and the heir's line
Alexceptional
3 months ago
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Tarquin, has arguably, had it worse than Adeline
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Tarquin is the second surviving son of Isaac and Mariam
Alexceptional
3 months ago
He married his first wife, Sade and they were doing great except their children weren't surviving
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Sade's last pregnancy was REAL bad
Alexceptional
3 months ago
(realistic pregnancy mod, for suffering)
Alexceptional
3 months ago
AND I also rolled shit
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Nat 1
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Sade didn't make it through childbirth, but her son did. Somehow...
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Percival is their 4th child. And only surviving child. He's only a toddler, long way to go. Fingers crossed
Alexceptional
3 months ago
So here's Tarquin, grieving Sade and eventually he decides. Okay. Maybe it's safe to try again, maybe fall in love etc.....
Alexceptional
3 months ago
He meets Fiona. They hit it off. Woohoo. Pun ABSOLUTELY intended
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Oh totally married btw
Alexceptional
3 months ago
AND........................................
Alexceptional
3 months ago
She's with child
Alexceptional
3 months ago
yay
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Tarquin keeps getting stressed moodlets, you know he's thinking of Sade
Alexceptional
3 months ago
AND WORST NIGHTMARE
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Fiona doesn't make it through childbirth
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Her son, Gislin, survived by some miracle
Alexceptional
3 months ago
So now Tarquin has two sons from two different wives who both died in childbirth and this poor kiddo. I just can't imagine him trying to find another wife at this point so I think he'll just do his best for his boys and........ try to be happy?
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Man, poor guy.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
And then we have Odette, the youngest surviving daughter of Isaac and Mariam. She was a twin. Her brother, Owain, was the casualty I mentioned during the famine. He was 10. It hit the family pretty hard
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Odette has also had it kinda rough with getting her little ones to survive
Alexceptional
3 months ago
She started off with ..... triplets!
Alexceptional
3 months ago
But of course
Alexceptional
3 months ago
But only one, Boudica, survived
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Boudica is really sweet, such a daddy's little princess. She's a toddler with the angelic trait and she's just CUTE.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Since the triplets she's had 2 sons survive, Taran and Cian but also lost a son as well
Alexceptional
3 months ago
So not as bad as Tarquin who just can't catch a break, but she's lost as many babies as she's had survive
Alexceptional
3 months ago
It's rough.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
AND THEN THE YOUNGEST SURVIVING son of Gen 2, Edmund whooooooooo married a fucking werewolf so..... good job kiddo
Alexceptional
3 months ago
You really like to live on the edge, huh.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Her name is Sigrid and we love her and her millions of fleas
Alexceptional
3 months ago
No kiddos from them yet but I'm sure ... it'll be interesting
Alexceptional
3 months ago
kiddos or puppies..... HMN.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
So we're doing our best, chugging along. I am really hoping Isaac and Mariam survive long enough for Rowan to age up to teen because Adeline is, as mentioned, kinda useless! Does not hold a job, barely helps with housework. Like. Doesn't help with the farm, doesn't help with the animals. She just reads all day and cries
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Did she pick up the Gloomy trait? Yes............ what gave it away
Alexceptional
3 months ago
So a looooooooot of weight is going to fall onto Rowan very quickly once his grandparents pass and I am a whole nervous they will be struggling from there
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Not to mention, the Hundred Years war is more or less around the corner and....... all that luck we've had with sons is about to get challenged. Hoooboy.
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Fingers crossed lol
dirtsmell

i was going to say that your screenshots were so pretty, how did you ever... and then i kept reading lol
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Eyyyy
Alexceptional
3 months ago
I also use gshade to make things pwettier
dirtsmell
3 months ago
i miss the sims, but my laptop officially cannot with it's bloated ass anymore le sob
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Yeah.... if your pc is struggling at all I wouldn't recommend the Sims
Alexceptional
3 months ago
The last patch broke the game hard and not just for modded games. It broke THE game
Alexceptional
3 months ago
Which can't be good for pcs either
dirtsmell
3 months ago
and i'd heard that too, lol
dirtsmell
3 months ago
what is it with the love/romance packs fundamentally breaking the game. Wedding Stories did the same as i recall
dirtsmell
3 months ago
and i heard that just actually re-added the ability to get married without having to deal with WS in the last update
Alexceptional
3 months ago
lmao yep
Alexceptional
3 months ago
They're threatening another 2 ex packs before 2025 and the community is giving them death glares
Alexceptional
3 months ago
The game just can't handle more packs until they fix the issues that already exist
Alexceptional
3 months ago
But they want money so
papermint tiger
3 months ago
damn i kind of want to do this challenge now...
Alexceptional
3 months ago
It's very fun! But mods help with this one
Alexceptional
